How does UVs work with ld? Is there any point to getting "Effective against monster" uvs on a weapon?
Lockdown UVs
Right, but items that confer damage bonus against everything (for example, Skolver, Shadowsun, Chaos) do affect your damage in PvP, right?
The main UVs used in Lockdown are attack speed increase, damage increase, and shock, freeze, and stun resistance. Everything else isn't really important, especially UVs against monsters. Charge time reduction isn't quite important other than on certain guns like alchemers and all bombs which aren't used much. Most of the other resistance UVs are not really needed such as fire, poison, curse, and no duh sleep.
Despite most monster effective UVs are not needed in lockdown, damage to slime would be the only one useful if you encounter a rock jelly.
LD is a minigame, some stuff won't work there, like the Chroma sets.
for t3 LD: asi VH, ctr VH, shock max and stun max
For t2 LD: asi VH, ctr VH, shock max,stun max, freeze max, fire max, piercing max, normal max, elemental max(if you hate hammer) and shadow max(if you hate nightblade)
...but you can always troll the wolver line population that you have uv against beast VH eventhou it didn't help you in anything XD
for t1, asi/ctr/normal/elemental/freeze/fire/shock/stun
I believe it's only asi and ctr benefit the most. Effective against monster wouldn't add any damage when versus players. Except you enjoyed killing rock jelly cube, gun puppy?
